The more Democrats learn about Bernie Sanders, the more they appear to like him.

A greater percentage of Democratic registered voters view the Vermont senator as likable, honest, competent and compassionate than they did just two months ago, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll. Seventy-two percent now believe he could win the general election, a 21 percentage point increase from the last time the survey was conducted in December.

Woodrow Benford, 58, who lives outside Minneapolis, says he didn't know much about Sanders before he announced his presidential bid, but now Benford plans to caucus for him on March 1.

"Some changes need to be made, some major changes — he's addressing them," he said. "I like Hillary Clinton; don't get me wrong. But she'd never say she's going to break up the big banks."

"I was going to bite my tongue and vote for Hillary, but I never really trusted her," said Robert Stone, a 59-year-old from Hilton Head, South Carolina, who already cast an absentee ballot for Sanders. "Every time she opens her mouth, I can't help but think she's lying about something."

He has no chance, couldn't even beat a Trump IMO. I don't think most people know anything about him except he's not Hillary. But when they become acquainted with him it's game over--even in 2016 socialism isn't going to win general elections.
